The Summoning by Kelly Armstrong


Hey everyone :) sorry I haven't posted for a while, I've been extra busy with school. Anyway, I just finished this awesome book! It's sooooooooo good and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

Story:
15 year old Chloe Saunders is a lot like any other teenage girl. She goes to a school for the arts and plans on becoming a director. It starts out like any other day, with Chloe arguing with her house keeper, going to school, but it ends with her in the hospital, raving about the dead janitor that was chasing her through the halls of her high school. The school won't let Chloe return until she spends at least two weeks in a house for troubled teens. Chloe's aunt, being a nurse, finds one right away: Lyle House. She is sent there right away and quickly diagnosed with schizophrenia, but, even with her medication, Chloe is still seeing things, a disembodied hand, and a flickering outline of a man in the basement. With the help of some of the other kids at Lyle House, Chloe learns that she's not schizophrenic, she's a necromancer. In other words, she can see and communicate with ghosts. As she learns more about the place she's staying and her first encounters with ghosts, Chloe uncovers the terrifying truth about Lyle House.

This is an amazing book! It was one of those books that had me checking under the bed at night and jumping whenever I saw a shadow move. If you can handle the scary factor, I would definitely recommend this book. I give this a, like 100 out of 5... you won't be able to put it down!!!

thanks for reading,
